I'm going on 2 years since diagnosis. My cancer went stage IV last year when it went into my lung. Chemo got rid of the one in my lung but then I did not respond to the last Medicine I tried. Starting a new chemo today and hoping the cancer responds. I hardly ever see any TN ladies who have not been cured with their first round of chemo and radiation. Is there anyone out there with TN that has had to receive several chemos and eventually been NED?

dx stage IV out of the gate mets to liver and lung at 29.

I had Abraxane then AC and was NED after last AC treatment then had surgery and radaition.  I was still NED when the doctor's decided to throw Abraxane at it again before giving me a chemo holiday.  I was dx at the beginning of 2008 by JAN 2009 I was NED, Oct 2009 last Abraxane treatment.  I have been NED and off Chemo since, see ONC every 3 months.
